What does the Bible say about our need for Christ as a physician?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible emphasizes that only those who recognize their sickness from sin truly need Christ, the Great Physician.

In Mark 2:17, Jesus declared, 'They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.' This illustrates that the role of Christ as a physician is specifically for sinners who are aware of their sin and need for healing. The passage highlights the reality that many people see themselves as whole and righteous, which prevents them from recognizing their need for salvation in Christ. Only true sinners, who understand their lost state, will seek out the mercy and grace that Christ offers.
